Core Tip	Inflammatory cytokines have been implicated in the development of several malignancies, including colon cancer. Specifically, fibrinogen has been correlated with some clinicopathological factors of cancer. However, the prognostic value of fibrinogen measurements remains unclear, particularly in colon cancer patients. In this study, preoperative fibrinogen levels were correlated with a poor prognosis in a cohort of colon cancer patients. These data suggest that preoperative fibrinogen levels can serve as an independent prognostic factor for colon cancer patients following radical surgery.
